Dear reader, great news: Not one, but two more seasons of Bridgerton have been added to the series.
The popular period drama, which was produced by Shonda Rhimes, will air on Netflix through Seasons 3 and 4. The streamer’s faith in the show is demonstrated by the fact that the decision is made before Season 2 has even aired.
According to a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix’s VP of global TV Bela Bajaria stated that the creative team behind Bridgerton has “some exciting plans for the future,” and “we think audiences will continue to swoon for this show.” We intend to remain in the Bridgerton industry for a very long time.”
A portion of Shonda Rhimes’ statement read, “This two-season pickup is a strong vote of confidence in our work, and I feel incredibly grateful to have partners as collaborative and creative as Netflix.”
What will occur in season 3?
Season 3 of Lady Whistledown has just been revealed to be all about her and her love story.
During Netflix’s FYSEE panel on Sunday, actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, announced the news.
She stated, “Like Lady Whistledown, I have kept a secret for quite some time, and I can confirm to you all that season three is the love story of Colin and Penelope.” Since two weeks into the second season, I have kept that secret.”
During the first two seasons, Penelope keeps her feelings for her close friend Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton, secret from him. However, towards the conclusion of season 2, it appears that Colin begins to view Penelope through new lenses, realizing that she has always been there for him.

Newton stated to Netflix, “There’s so much love for that relationship.” This brings with it pressures because some people are very excited about this story coming to light. However, it also really warms me.”
Since Julia Quinn’s third Bridgerton novel focuses on Benedict Bridgerton and her fourth on Penelope and Colin, this is a departure from her original timeline. However, since the show’s inception, viewers have been eagerly anticipating a development in the friendship, so they won’t be let down.
“I think you’ll think, ‘Get it together!’ if you see Penelope swooning over this boy for another season. At the panel, Coughlan said, “Come on, move on, and get over it.”
